What does it take to get a tenured professor fired from a university in America today?
We might find out later this week in Colorado.
A special meeting of the Colorado University regents is scheduled for tomorrow in Aurora to consider the possibility of dismissing professor Ward Churchill for an essay he wrote after Sept. 11, 2001, called "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens."

IT's WAY past time for our colleges to clean out the extremist scum which plague them.

AMEN to that. There will be alot of openings, but maybe we can get some real profs and teachers now, once the parasitic, union-leech leftists are gone.
It's called tenure, not endure. Why must we be forced to do the latter for the former?
I've heard worse on my campus from a professor or two.....this guy is the "norm" not the exception.
They should take away his tenured position and make him change his last name to Schikelgruber.
Amen to that! What amazes me though, is that this essay has apparently been out there for several years now and it is just now coming to light. And all this time, this unhappy Marxist is out there subjecting the students who are unfortunate enough to be assigned to his classes to his leftist tirades.
If this marginal human being is so damned unhappy in this country, why doesn't he find himself a country more to his liking. I'd be glad to spring for a one-way ticket to Cuba or North Korea for him.
This question about whether to fire him or not should have been addressed as should he have ever been hired.
In the statement he put out the other day, he said he was a U.S. soldier in Vietnam and "participated in more violence than I ever wish to see." But according to the people in the American Indian movement who are angry at him, in one of his books, he says he was an Information Specialist in Vietnam.
I am confused here. Does an Information Specialist also participate in combat?
